After my computer was stolen on Christmas Eve I put some extra thought into my next one. I opted for a cheap (read: expendable) laptop that served the basic needs of computing: social media, blogging, and e-mail. There is truth in the saying “You get what you pay for.” Recently I’ve found myself on the hunt for a new computer that serves my needs (read: online gaming). It still needs to be affordable, but it has to be awesome too – I love being able to keep my graphics turned up on games like World of Warcraft and Diablo III. The graphics are half of what make the games so great!

On my hunt I’ve come across several options that meet my budget and preferences. The one that has my eye at the moment is the AMD FX APU – HP Envy Touchsmart Laptop. This laptop provides extreme performance of AMD’s most powerful mobile processer to deliver exceptional Gaming and Entertainment experience – the AMD FX Special Edition APU*.

The HP Envy TouchSmart 15.6” touch screen laptop makes multitasking a breeze so you can spend more time with your family! The Quick AMD FX series processor is great for daily tasks such as managing your personal life or streaming movies or videos and provides great video quality for gaming or catching up on your favorite youtube videos.

The AMD FX Special Edition APU introduces mobile systems with AMD’s highest performing APUs, exclusive at Best Buy. When you are looking for a notebook, the AMD FX Special Edition APU will provide you with unbelievable performance, gaming and productivity. Plus, with the new FX APU powered notebook, be unbeatable and experience the processing power of 10 compute cores (4 CPU + 6 GPU)**!

Even more great things:

I’m pretty much sold on this computer. I can picture myself exploring Azeroth or playing Hardcore D3 with the graphics blowing my mind. There are some extra benefits with shopping on the Best Buy website. Benefits like:

What features do you look for when you’re shopping for a gaming computer?

For me it’s the processor and graphics card. Like I said before, graphics are a huge thing for me – I like to see ground effects and when the processor and/or graphics card suck the game starts to suck too. This laptop is basically my dream come true!!
